Ivanka Trump Just Received The Most Shocking News About The January 6 Investigation—She Must Be Freaking Out!

The Democratic-led House select committee looking into the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol is asking for Ivanka Trump’s “voluntary cooperation” with its investigation in a new letter.
In short—the walls are closing in on President Donald J. Trump’s former senior adviser and first daughter (who once referred to the mob of insurrectionists as “patriots” in a now-deleted tweet). The committee appears to be zeroing in on the 45th President’s closest circle for more details into their roles on the day of the Capitol attack.
The letter requesting the former first daughter’s assistance was issued by Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. and dated January 20, 2022 (which came a day after, as NPR reported, the committee had requested phone records from her brother Eric Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of her elder brother Donald Trump Jr).
The letter contained new evidence that the panel uncovered related to her role on the day of the riot. This includes several attempts to make her father intervene in the attack and his efforts to undo and delegitimize President Biden’s election.
“We respect your privacy, and our questions will be limited to issues relating to January 6th, the activities that contributed to or influenced events on January 6th, and your role in the White House during that period,” Thompson wrote.
The committee proposed a meeting date with Ivanka Trump for February 3rd or 4th, or during the week of February 7th, but apparently, as NPR writes, she “could not immediately be reached for comment.”
Also revealed in the letter, the panel is asking for Ms. Trump’s account of a phone conversation between her father and former Vice President Mike Pence on January 6th.
Pence’s former national security adviser, Keith Kellogg, was with the then-President (who was on the phone with the Vice President) and first daughter in the White House as the riot was occurring. Kellogg testified to the panel about how the former President said to Pence over the phone that he didn’t “have the courage to make a hard decision” and said Pence would “wimp out.” Kellogg said Ivanka Trump was present for her father’s end of the call and the panel is seeking more information.
